If I'm cleaning, or drawing/painting, or play my guitar, the swelling gets bad...I don't know if it's because my hand is in a downward position, or if it's from the use of it...I also wonder if it's because I have neck/chest weakness and maybe I'm pinching a nerve or something (I hope it's that :S)....Can anyone sorta relate to this?

Talk to you soon!
